    Featuring starving artists in the movie industry

    Lemme see. Who are they going to run in the ads? Metallica? What I would like to see is some of the artists that were truly screwed by the RIAA and the labels represented here. People like Jen Trynin who is amazingly talented, but had a baaaad experience with the labels.

    Did you intentionally use the incorrect no/know in the first sentence? If so, congrats.

    If not, you're a seriously mentally impaired cockmongering chode loader. Get off of the short bus and into the oven, bitch.

    I would like to point out, that for any integer base B,
    (B - a)(B - c) = (B - a - c)B + ac
    Of course, this works better for a < B/2, c < B/2, otherwise you have to deal with carry issues. Teh obvious advantage is that your multiplication is half as wide.
